I still can't believe this happened! Yesterday, 7/31, I got a signal for a quarter, and the coins kept coming out of the hole!!!!!!!!!!!:hello2::headbang:8-)

1864 S & 1868 S Seated Liberty Half-Dollar, 1888 S Seated Liberty Quarter, 1882 Shield Nickel!


Does anyone know if I have can these professionally cleaned with NCS without a value loss?????

OMG I'm still freaking out!!!!!!!

I went back on 8/2/16 and didn't get any additional silver but did find this lovely 1883 V-Nickel!!! IMG_7037.jpg

What a bodacious coin spill find - all coins are in great shape with very good detail and "congrats" to you - thanks for posting your pictures and story & I wish you many more great finds while out dirt fishin.

Wow, that's a great find. 1860's silver doesn't come to light very often as other decades.

Very very nice!
 

Incredible! Were you using one of the preloaded programs on the XP?
 

Great job. Throw them in some diluted lemon juice if you want to clean them.
 

Fantastic cache of old silver, congratulations on an epic score. Sub 8-)
 

Wow wow and wow. Super great find. Huge congratulations to you.
 

Now that's a dream coin spill , congrats
 

WOW!!!What a Spill.

While your Coins are Old & I'd be happy to dig 1 of the Seated Liberty Coins .

Your coins are in great shape IMO , the "Retail " Value in XF (no-Detail label) are worth under $200 W/the Quarter being under $100.

That said it may not be worth getting them Cleaned & Graded by NGC or PCGS. Unless you think you will get an AU or MS Grade?

Me I would either leave them as is ,or clean them with the method mentioned above or a different One.
(do some Silver cleaning Research).

The Black ,Will come off , I have used Buckleboys technique & it worked well.

You can have them Cleaned & Graded if you like ,esp since you dug them.

I personally don't like "Details" Labels. "To each his Own"
Again just the Nickel would make my Year.
Dream Find indeed.

Just WOW!!!! Don't want you to give too much away, but some details about the dig would be great! I see you give your location as "West Coast", so just wondering if this was a California find? Huge Congratz!!
